Scary noises coming from X60s

My X60s is emitting hissing (or buzzing) sounds that gets really loud (scare me). I had the notebook for about a year and half. If anybody can help me figuring this out.

I keep wondering what is wrong with it. It starts on the lower left side of the notebook and sometimes there are some tiny vibrations. I once shut down the notebook and try to switch it on but the notebook gave out loud noise (the hard drive?), screen showed Thinkpad welcome... and then died... try to switch it on 3 times but the same thing happened again. Afterwards, I took out the external docking and put the notebook on a cold floor and switch it on again. It worked but the noise kept coming.

I keep wondering if it is a hard drive problem or cooling problem. I ran HD Tune and according to it the temp is 41-42deg. Hmmm... The notebook is not unusually hot or something and the adapter is not unusually hot too.

Because I am out of the country at the moment, I don't know how I can get help from Lenovo Service in US. Does the warranty cover service out of US anyway?

If anybody can figure out this problem, thank you so much.

Did you hear CPU heatsink fan running?
It may be good idea to clear some dust out of the heatsink using air spray.
